Dx Companies On the Rise

BY ENMEDIA

AcuamarkDx is a cancer diagnostics company making early cancer detection the new standard of primary care. Frequent monitoring and screening are the standard of care for diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Why can’t this be true for cancer? At present, no early cancer diagnostic is both sensitive and specific. The AcuamarkDx technology uses optimized qPCR to detect low-abundance methylation markers, allowing for both sensitive and specific detection of cancer at early stages. The company’s initial product will focus on colorectal cancer, with a pan-cancer screening test to follow. With the implementation of its tests, AcuamarkDx hopes to prevent 5 million cancer deaths annually by providing earlier cancer detection for all.
